Question

which refers to a representation of a compound that gives the number of atoms and types of atoms in a compound?
o symbol
o formula
o subscript
o bond

Explanation:

• A symbol represents an element (e.g., \(H\) for hydrogen).
• A formula (e.g., \(H_2O\)) shows the types of atoms (H and O) and their numbers (\(2\) H atoms and \(1\) O atom) in a compound.
• A subscript is a part of a formula that indicates the number of a particular atom (e.g., the \(2\) in \(H_2O\) is a subscript).
• A bond is the force that holds atoms together in a compound.

Answer:

formula
